PEACEFUL PROTEST CONFRONTS RACISM
Kimberly Kauer
Associate Editor
Following strife and riots nationwide,
approximately 200 USF students, staff,
and faculty members held a peaceful
protest in Hamey Plaza on Thursday,
April 30, organized by the USF Black
Student Union.
The group formed outside of Hayes-
Healy and then marched up to Hamey
Plaza where they formed a circle and
began discussing their thoughts and
opinions about the events breaking out
across the country. Those who wanted to
speak, did, one at a time.
The discussion centered around
changing race relations, starting at the

individual, then the University and finally the community at large.
Another topic that was brought up was
the idea of changing the name of Phelan
Hall, suggested by Junior John Grubbs.
The Hall is named after James D.
Phelan, a former U.S. Senator who is
regarded by many as being racist. Following Thursday, Grubbs wrote a letter
about his idea to Father President John P.
Schlegel, S.J. and to each of the ASUSF
Senators.
Following the discussion in Hamey, a
majority of the group walked peacefully
to the Haight. They chanted along the
way "Wake Up America" among other
slogans. A patrol car monitored their
actions, but no arrests were made as the
group stayed on sidewalks and obeyed
traffic signals.
A Teach-in, sponsored by the Politics
Dept., is scheduled to be held this
Thursday, May 7, beginning at 12:30
p.m. in Crossroads. A variety of faculty
members willspeakaboutwhathappened
last week in accordance to their particular
field of expertise.
"The peaceful protest was a really
positive experience," Aly Carr, ASUSF
Vice President-Elect said. "I hope that
the student impowerment we felt at the
moment will continue and create a real
change."
The University was closed the evening
of Thursday, April 30, but it re-opened
the next morning. Still, if any students,
staff, or faculty members felt at risk
traveling to campus, they were advised
to stay home. All classes on for the
weekend were also cancelled.

MEDIA COUNCIL CHOOSES NEW MEDIA CHIEFS
Foghorn Staff Report
The University Media Council selected
the candidates to fill the 1992-93 Editor-
in-Chief positions of the Foghorn, Ignatian and The Don Yearbook and the
position of General Manager at KDNS
880AM.
Brigid Toner was appointed as the
new General Manager of KDNS, although the decision is being appealed by
William "Spike" Nowicki on the grounds
that her application packet was late.
Nowicki ran against Toner for the position.
"I expected to be told if there was a
problem. I picked up her packet Monday
and tried to complete all of the requirements, but I knew it would be impossible
to get the letters of recommendation,"
Toner said.
"Wan Suwandi, Media Council Chair,
told me to try my best'. My last thing I
was told was that my packet looked good
and I was given an appointment time."
"I realize his concern since I waived
the deadline for Brigid Toner," said
Suwandi.
"The Media Council will decide
whether to accept Brigid's application or
to override my decision to accept her late
application," he continued.
The council will meet in a closed
session on Thursday at 12:30 p.m. to
decide on the position. Toner said even if
the original decision is overturned, she
"will stay involved next year although
extremely disappointed."
Kimberly Kauer, currently Associate
Editor at the Foghorn, was named Editor-in-Chief. Kauer will assume her position as soon as the current academic
year ends, although her responsibilities
will increase through the transition.
"I am really looking forward to next
year," Kauer said. "With only a couple
